Tom Ford F/W 2025.26 Paris

[tourbillions]

looks a bit too old school. didnt feel fresh. I think people would like it for the nostalgia of haider but he is a bit pass his prime. And has nothing more to give, rather see someone else at the helm who would capture the tom ford woman of 2025. Haider feels like a placeholder.

I am a bit done with the slow-paced walk we‘ve come to expect from Haider, much like the clothes, which are very much a continuation of what we‘ve seen of him before.

To me, this show falls into a similar place as the last few Celine Homme collections - Nice sartorial choices, sleek outerwear and shoes, but also nothing crazy unexpected. Hopefully he‘ll step it up a notch next time!

but with that pencil skirt situation he was talking about, succeed he did not...

This is stunning. Bravo.

Fantastic collection, wow what a debut! Sleek, luxurious, sexy yet incredibly sophisticated. Impeccable tailoring, and as expected great colors. I knew he would deliver. Granted I never cared for Tom Ford (post Gucci), this elevated the brand to a whole different level. He’s bringing a taste level here that is hard to find elsewhere.

Welcome back Haider!

The collection was pretty but not something I will remember in a week, Haider has already done this many times before.

This!

loved it, clean and sharp.

too bad the choreography ruined the show, the model were too close and they all walked like they were scared to bump into each other.

It's not a bad show, but it's not Tom Ford. It lacked sequins, disco, vintage, music, and it was too austere in a way.

Looking at the responses, people thought it was either totally amazing or really disliked it.

I didn't think it was Tom Ford at all, which is what many of the positive posts are overlooking - this isn't a Haider Ackermann show, it's supposed to be Tom Ford!

I find it kinda weird, like it is too rough, too unpolished for TF. I always look at TF as the brand of high-octane super glamour. Always associated it with velvet and Hollywood flashes.

I have mixed feelings because I love Haider, but I’ll wait and see.

Surprisingly, he went back to some 90’s Tom Ford. I saw some 1997/1999 Gucci.
And I also saw a lot of Tom Ford codes like the fringe column gown on Karen.

It’s very European, something that Tom Ford was at Gucci and YSL and less at his own brand. For that it looks more modern, more urban

But don't you find it strange that Haider went back to Tom Gucci but not Tom's own brand for his debut. I always thought Tom legacy was so much more than just his Gucci and YSL era. He has presented so many good collections under his own brand that I think that his successors can draw inspiration from.
I really miss the “P***y Power” era , can we have some fun, and some humor back at TF at least?

I think that the collection works well for TF, but the claustrophobic runway setup and the music made everything feel way too serious and austere. A long, straight pitch-black runway with followspots would've been more effective in creating the drama he was looking for.

It’s weird but I don’t miss the « P***Y Power » era even if I was one of the few to love that collection (I have a suit form that show).

What has always been a bit bittersweet for me when it comes to Tom Ford was that it was too Hollywood. I think there was a certain formality but also real life approach in his menswear that was lacking in his womenswear and that completely disappeared when he went back to the US.

Tom Ford is a very serious brand. And I think the right way to approach it at first is to be a bit serious.

My favorite collection from Tom at his own house is FW2012. There’s a bit of that here.

What is maybe missing in hedonism and fun sex is balanced by a great confidence.

I didn’t expect Haider to bring the leopard, the metallics on his first show. They have enough common point in terms of aesthetic for it to come later.

By the time the collection hits the stores, I would have lost my post-baby weight and I can’t wait!

I don't hate it, but I really wonder how long Tom Ford as a brand outside of their beauty offerings can last.

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

It was magical, loved everything about it, from the soundtrack and the choreography of the models (it felt almost musical how they moved) to the colors, the tailoring, the leather.

I was wowed by the deep red coat, the way the model looks at the audience, from far away...
This woman is seductive because she is unattainable.

Haider's Tom Ford is going to be one of the highlights of Paris, for sure.

 

[fruitdots]

It's fine. Ackermann will always cut garments beautifully. But I think this is revealing more of Tom Ford's lack of a defining aesthetic or design vocabulary than anything else. If you told me it was another Halston revival I'd believe you.

Sly. Sinister. Smouldering.

Visually, it’s Tom’s Gucci S/S 1998 as envisioned by Luis Sanchez. It’s cold, it’s slick and it’s a phalanx of icy androgynous replicants from Blade Runner. That sort of of heightened aesthetic, cinematic presentation, and house referential imagery, I absolutely love and all but missing in this era of midrange department-store sensibility. This is for adults, not children cosplaying. And seeing Karen, who was there for Tom’s Gucci, his YSL, and then his own label, now walking for Haider’s Tom Ford is a transcendent moment. She’s aged immaculately and only serves to elevate the brand even more.

As for the fashion. Solid but not supreme. Simple and austere, and a much needed relief reset for Peter’s decent but stunted efforts for a brand that’s seen better days with Tom’s last few collections. Unfortunate not a real fur proposal to be seen.

 

[Alquimista]

You can feel the elegance, the power. Not much sex.

Tom Ford as a brand feels very formal. Its the suit, the gown, etc. It would be nice to see Haider develop something more casual. The mens leather jackets are a great start and Tom always did them beautifully.

And thank god Haider is not doing clothes with silly oversized proportions.

 

[BalkaniStaCouture]

Honestly, I hate to admit… but I didn’t like this at all, at all. Was hoping to see a lot, and just saw silk over models. Kind’ve bad.

 

[GoldenPetals]

Yeah it's the right VIBE but it falls a hairsbreadth short of delivering that Tom Ford punch. But the quality looks terrific and I'm absolutely fine with a slightly subdued and severe TF. I think HA has struck a great balance with this collection.
